Ultimatebet Beats

Am I the only person that thinks UB is as good (Honest and true) as all the other poker sites. I often see people cry "Well thats UB for you" when they have a bad beat but the same thing can happen anywhere and anytime real or internet.

people say that about every site

ignore them, each site has their own advantages and disadvantages, just play at which ever one you like, or win the most on ;]

i cant beleive anyone can actually beleive that a site would have something in it's program that has an inclination towards dealing out flushes or straights or 4 of a kinds. I hear those kind of mumblings too.

Bad beats certainly happen on UB the same as any other one. One of the worst I saw last night in the 200 entry 120K guaranteed tourney. BBKings had JJ vs QJ when KKKKx hit the table to beat him. As if that weren't bad enough, he'd previously been beaten by quad 10's.

just played a tourny a UB and had AA and i lost to KJ full house

I believe ultimate bet is one of the best sites there is, I have played all the rest and love Ub's format and look. I don't beleive in any thing in its program...... People just get bad beats and are angry about it, but it can happen anywhere.

OHHH I AGREE BAD BEATS ARE JUST APART OF POKER TAKE A LOOK AT THIS ONE

MY WORST BAD BEAT EVER WAS MY HAND A K (UNSUITED) VS POCKET 4'S

FLOP COMES A J Q TURN COMES A J AND RIVER A 4 AHH BLAHHH THAT HURTS KNOCKED ME OUT OF A BIG BUY IN TOURNAMENT!

Bad beats occur on all sites. People just say that because they are on tilt from losing the hand and want to express their frusteration.

I know what you are saying but its not that way for me. I had so many bad beats on pokerstars I just got frustrated. so far UB has been pretty decent to me. I have caught some I guess what people would call a bad beat.

I was playing a freeroll today at UB...pretty good cheap lead and took a shorter stack all-in.

I showed KK, short stack had QQ...4.5-1 favorite right? wrong.

Shorty rivered a Q and doubled up...

I have read through the algorithm that ub uses for their site and I can say that compared to some of the other online sites, it is superior. I think that some of the reasons that people complain is that they don't realize just how many hands per hour they are seeing vs. a casino. And the more hands you see, the more the odds and percentages we like to cling to go right out the door.

Besides the fact that "thats poker for you", what fun would it be if on the flop, winning were a sure bet everytime? No one would play. I do get peeved on bad beats, but at the same time I try to learn from each one and to remember next time that they could have anything in their hand. Unless you're holding the royal flush....you can always be beaten.

Speaking of, one sng I had A7s, flop came KQ10s, obviously i bet, i had the nut flush, turn came 9s, i bet again, river came Js. With a straight flush on the board, the other player went all in. I had to call holding the As and he was quite pissed when I beat him. But with the board holding a straight flush, and I was betting heavy since the flop, I don't see why he was surprised that I had the As?! or that I beat him, the best he could have done after the river was split the pot with me.... who knows?, at least ub has a mute option.

The thing I like most about Ultimate bet is their freerolls. They offer about 7-10 each day, and 2500 join each time. I've been playing UB lately and have not noticed anything strange with cards, this is the first I've heard anything of this, at any poker site.

So far I haven't found a poker site better than Ultimate Bet.

I like Ub's freerolls and format as well and the whole bad beat thing is just a fact of poker. I think we've all thought at one time or another we've had "the Nuts" and have been taken down by "the one and ONLY card " that could do it. Like Doris Day says "Que sera, sera".

Ultimate Bet isnt bad compared to Royal Vegas. On Royal Vegas if you go all in with a set or two Pair. The person who calls you either gets there Flush or straight draw and win

A couple of nights ago I flopped a set of 9's while someone else flopped a set of queens. Only hand at the time that had me beat was trip q's. As the saying goes **** happens. My advice, stuff like that can't and doesn't happen all that often. Roll with the punches and make the best plays you can. Sure bad beats happen now and again, but you can't always lose when you make the right play.
